Conspiracy Theories

It's amusing how much research (or lack of it) is invested on developing increasingly absurd theories and co-relations organized so you'd believe your favorite singer is satan's spawn, or everything in your favorite movie points to the New World Order.

I can't wait to make a Conspiracy Theory Contest, people would have to elaborate the best theory.

Here's a theory.

TV Tropes is still all about Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We only added other series as a way to detect tropes we couldn't detect in the original series, but we're secretly data-mining, and now someone is trying to tie every trope to Buffy the Vampire Slayer or its spin-offs.

In fact, Joss Whedon secretly is involved with TV Tropes.

I am of the opinion that the entire universe is mine own delusion.

I suppose most would classify this as a conspiracy theory. Perhaps merely something like it.

sometimes I feel like I know you from somewhere any information please call 555....

That's just solipsism.

^^ "Conspiracy" involves multiple people working together towards a single goal.

What you posted just means you need to up the meds a little.

I'm of the opinion that I do not exist, and that once someone in this world either dies or "wakes up", I cease to exist.

I always say Everything is Possible, but some things are more Probable than others.

I will admit truth can be stranger than fiction, as certainscandals, affairs, and operations can be as absurd as some suggested conspiracy theories. Its very possible that if the truth had never came to light, many would be dismissed by the general public as the mad ramblings of conspiracy theorists. So it's important to keep an open mind about things.

I just wish more conspiracy theorists would:

A. Admit there is a possibility that they are wrong.

B. Stop belittling people who are skeptical of what there saying.

Definitions of Conspiracy:

1. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime at some time in the future.

2. An event as being the result of an alleged plot by a covert group, individual, or organization or, more broadly, a important political, social or economic events that is the products of secret plots that are largely unknown to the general public.

3. The action of plotting or conspiring.

4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design.

I do believe in conspiracies, but not in conspiracy theories.

I've always tried to keep an open mind to these things, but when someone comes and says that there's a nearly invisible pixel-small satanic pentagram hiding in the lower-right corner of the screen in a single frame in Transformers (that turns out it's just a .jpg artifact from a leak that looks SLIGHTLY like one), that doesn't help the cause!

Of course, there ARE some believable theories, but those mostly cover subjects that are already shady enough without anyone having to say it is.

No, you can't beat the real conspiracy theorists.

In the Czech Republic, the candidate for president - unless he has a support of members of parliament (20 from the Chamber of Deputies or 10 from the Senate) - must collect signatures of 50.000 people supporting him. One candidate (the one with the world's longest name of a political party) only collected 319; when he wasn't registered for the elections, he challenged the descision at the court, claiming (apart from various arguments disputing the constitutionality of the electoral law) that he had really collected 253.726 signatures, but they were intercepted by the postal service and used by other candidates.

My favorite is this one: "Half of all conspiracy theories are true". I don't remember who created this one, but somebody had a real sense of humor.

I've always been fond of the absurdly awesome Reptilian theory. For those reading that are not familiar with the theory, it states that every person in a position of power ever was actually a member of a race of shapeshifting reptilian aliens whose goal is to either enslave us all, or eat us all.

This theory actually spawned a pretty cool (to my memory, anyway) episode of Lost Tapes.

"We're home, Chewie."

My favorite conspiracy theory is the one where Lindsay Lohan had a twin sister who costarred in The Parent Trap, but she was murdered and her existence covered up by Disney. This apparently explains Lindsay's mental health issues.

My mom has a pretty crazy one, but it's extremely controversial and better off unmentioned.

Looking for some stories?

conspiracy theories are usually a coping mechanism to overcome the disapointing truth.

9/11, Was made by the govermnet, because we are not at the behest of international circumstances right? Only our government could do something like that. We dont have to worry about foreing affairs but keep our introverted view of the world

Moon landing, We never went because if we had gone we would totally have done it again and we would have space colonies and stuff, because science is a straight line that allways takes us forward.

Bielderberg group, there is a sinister order to the world, but an order nonetheless. Its not like we are captives of the incredible randomness of institutional reactions that do not carefully plan the future but that seek to survive in the short term trough market and ideologically oriented actions that do not coordinate with other similar instituions.

Flue vaccines, We have to fear pharmaceutical comapanies, not a pandemic patogen that could kill 1 in 5 humans within a short period of time.

Here's one I stumbled upon: The moon ain't real.

So, how about conspiracy theories that you actually believe in?

What we have with 9/11 is almost definitely an outside attack, but I do think that a similar plan may have been proposed by someone especially cynical and shortsighted on the inside - it just wasn't accepted by saner people. So the real terrorists got there first.

I mean, really. America made a lot of money in the past by protecting people from an outside enemy. So what do you do when the outside enemy doesn't exist and you can't find one? You create your own enemy.

It is an extremely shortsighted plan, of course, but it's possible for such a plan to exist - and I have no doubt that someone on the inside did propose such a plan only for it to get immediately rejected.

It's all unproven, of course, and (unlike most conspiracy nutters) I will happily accept any refutations if they exist.

It fails on the same basic issue that the other theories of that sort don't take into account: contrary to Hollywood, the number of totally amoral sociopaths who will do anything for A Cause(tm) is incredibly small. The whole "inside job" concept relies on a bunch of people to never have attacks of conscience, never brag to their drinking buddies after a few too many how they totally scammed the American public, never talked in their sleep, and could totally buy into the plan to kill many thousands of American citizens (had the planes hit later in the day when everyone was at work, the ~3k that did die would be "small potatoes" in comparison) without even a nanosecond's thought about "you know, that just doesn't sound right..."

Hell, the US government has problems with keeping secret "do unto others" when it's foreigners that are targeted. You expect better when the victims are their fellow citizens?

All your safe space are belong to Trump

I'm only saying that such a plan could've been proposed by someone especially stupid and sociopathic. Then it was immediately rejected by all the saner people. So the "keeping secrets" is a moot point because no one actually got to the stage where it mattered.

As for your other points, though, I agree. Maybe I haven't thought this through.

My headcanon shall be that the attack was proposed as a joke one day before it actually happened, and then it wasn't funny anymore.

Or however it's spelled.

That's quite a hilarious parody.

See, this premise actually makes a modicum of sense, in that I don't consider that my coffee cup has a hole in it, either. But that's getting into Topology. Be right back, let's see if he even mentions Topology.

There lies a theory that Ellen Van Zylle and Crizelda are sockpuppets of Shane Bane Neumann. However, the full theory is that the members of Shane's forums are sockpuppets created by him and a few other masterminds.

This video is also a theory about Shane and The Eternal Darkness: Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTcyb2pyL60&t=24s

EDIT: Since I still can't link videos correctly, a video link will have to suffice for now.

I remember reading some stuff on FSTDT about a guy on Godlike Productions called Kaboom the Moon. Three guesses what he posted about.

He insisted the moon was any number of evil things, all out to get us.
